What the book covers

As the title indicates, Food and Nutrition for BSc Nursing Students introduces the subject from the point of view of nursing students: the nutrients the body needs, the foods that provide them, and how nutrition relates to health and to the care nurses give. The publisher emphasises clear, simple language, which makes it suitable for students meeting the subject for the first time. We recommend checking the detailed topics against your own course outline rather than assuming a specific chapter list.

How to study nutrition for nursing

1. Link each nutrient to a patient. When you study a nutrient, note one clinical situation where a deficiency or excess matters to nursing care.
2. Use your own diet as a case study. Record a day of meals and analyse it with the concepts from the book.
3. Check global context. The World Health Organization publishes fact sheets on nutrition and malnutrition that put textbook concepts into a public health perspective.
4. Revise with self-testing. Short quizzes on nutrient sources and functions work better than rereading; see our article on active recall.
